v Im W ' THE TAR-BO-RAH 1962 VOLUME 24 PUBLISHED BY THE 1962 ANNUAL STAFF Co-editor Co-editor Business Manager DIANA WARREN MARY ELLA RUFFIN BETSY FOWLER 3 FOREWORD To enclose between two covers what we mean when we say Tarboro High School, to put into a lasting form the growth in learning and understanding, the joys and disappointments of the 1961-1962 high school year - from such attempts evolves the 1962 TAR-BO-RAH. 4 MALCOLM LINWOOD BAKER Buck April 7, 1944 - July 4, 1958 Buck was an outstanding student, well-loved by teachers and fellow classmates. His two loves were his church and his sports. These loves are kept alive by the Malcolm Linwood Baker Award, presented each year to the person who best ex- hibits Christian qualities on the playing field. IN MEMORIAM BERNICE MAY ANDREWS Bernice May 29, 1944 - January 22, 1961 Bernice, a good student and a leader in her class, participated in the Glee Club and the Fu- ture Homemakers of America. She was very popular among her classmates and teachers. She was always kind, considerate, and willing to give her time and help to all. Bj : ' ' ..... ....... :T DEDICATION We, the staff of the 1962 Tar-Bo-Rah, recognize one of the most beloved members of our faculty. He has given unselfishly of his time and knowledge to inspire every youth that he en- counters. He is a person deeply dedicated to his profession; this is best expressed by Chaucer, Gladly would he learn and gladly teach. As a coach he exhibits the qualities of good sportsman- ship both to the players and the spectators. His good sense of humor and cheerful attitude endear him to all. We will always remember the friendly warmth of his greeting and the untiring devotion he has shown us as our teacher, friend, and advisor. It is with genuine feeling of admiration and respect that we dedicate this annual to MR. LINDO SPENCER. BEGINNING OF SCHOOL The first day of school - this is the day which marks the official end to va- cation. It is with some degree of pleas- ure that the students return to see the new teachers and to greet their class- mates. Francis Lawrence and Vic Creech are happy on their first day at high school. They represent the large group of fresh- men who are anxious to see how their schedules will run. The sophomores feel much more than a year older and a great deal wiser. The jun- iors are old hands at it all. The seniors are beginning to exercise their new impor- tance. The students wait outside for that first bell which will summon them in for a year of learning. Yes, the teachers ' work begins ear- lier than the students ' . This is the first official meeting of the Tarboro teach- ers for the school year 1961-1962. 10 College Day gives all seniors and juniors the opportunity to talk with a representative from the college or school of their choice. Miss Whitehurst, guidance director, aids Jean Truitt, Katherine Cherry, Kate Smoot, and Tommy Ferrell as they are informed of the resources at North Ca- rolina Wesleyan College. The representatives bring pamphlets to help familiarize us with their school. Tommy Ferrell, Ben Gammons, and Bill Pitt are getting information from the Uni- versity of North Carolina. Mary Ella Ruffin, Mary Francis Thom- as, Becky Russell, Susan Beasley, Penny Lee Martin, and Fran McDowell seem to find this representative from Wake For- est College quite interesting. COLLEGE DAY II The parade is finally on its way! Riding on the float which they designed and decorated are the Junior Varsity cheerleaders . The Tarboro High School band spent many hours so that they could depict the musical aspect of the homecoming festivities. PARADES FLOATS On the student council float were the three princesses elected to represent the classes and the mystery queen - Who will she be? From the freshman class was Nancy Sasser. Representing the sophomore class was Sandra Sanderson. Elected from the junior class was Sue Joyner. Here it is - the winner of the contest for the best float. Prepared by the var- sity cheerleaders, the theme portrayed was pleasing to all Tarboro fans. The Tarboro Tiger was going to capture and cook the Rocky Mount Blackbird. 14 CANDIDATES Riding in the parade was the candidate for homecoming queen from the Annual Staff, Ann Brisson. Another of Tarboro High School ' s beauties running for homecoming queen was Susan Beasley sponsored by the Key Club. 15 The Future Homemakers of America selected Terri Manz as their candidate for queen. Governor Terry Sanford visited Tarboro on homecoming day while on tour of east- ern North Carolina. Diplomatically he wished luck to both teams. This visit add- ed gaiety and excitement to the day. NOMINEES Touchdown! The Tigers scored against the rival Blackbijds of Rocky Mount in the homecoming contest. Here she is - the climax of the day was complete! Mary Jo Pittman was the newly crowned homecoming queen of 1961. Rep- resenting the Camera Club, Mary Jo was a surprised and pretty queen to reign over the remainder of the festivities. QUEENS INITIATIONS Key Club president, Stumpy Havens, led Steve Lanier, Zeb Cummings, Bill Mewborn, Kenneth Driver, Gary Con- way, Steve Cooper, George White, and Billy Thigpen in taking the Key Club oath. Both new and old Future Homemakers enjoyed this initiation. The new members, dressed as some famous character, did a pantomime; as a result the initiators had to be able to guess who each person was por- traying . Mr. J. R. Owens, addressed the stu- dent body at the Key Club induction ceremony. Mr. Owens was president of the Tarboro Kiwanis Club, sponsor of the Key Club. Future members of the Monogram Club posed in a sneak preview with their initiators. Those joining the club are Johnny Purvis, William Purvis, Frankie Freuler, George White, Mike Fillmore, Craig Livesay, Robert Stanley, Ronnie Lilley, Allen Baker, Johnny Sasser, Dana Wooten, Bob Barnhill, Charles Dew, Bobby Brown, Herbert Brown, Charlie Harrell, and Frank Hurst. The juniors and seniors, recog- nized by the faculty as exempli- fying characteristics of character, scholarship, leadership, and serv- ice, have just been tapped into the National Honor Society. In- ductees were as follows: Borden Hooks, Mary Francis Thomas, Louise Carlise, Pat Wynn, Joyce Williamson, Dana Wooten, Jean Peedin, Sue Joyner, Julia Anna Leigh, Joan Hull, and Judy Decker. INDUCTIONS 9 RAISING MONEY One of the main money-making projects for the senior class is the paper drive. Seniors Mac Fountain, Mike Fillmore, and Reynolds Bailey are bail- ing paper. i The senior grade parents of this year, as those of years past, are an irreplaceable asset to the graduating class. With their help, funds are raised for the trip to Washington, D. C. Grade- parents for this year are: Mrs. W. L. Beasley, Mrs. George Pennington, Mrs. Forrest Walston, Mrs. Bruce Russell, Mrs. Katherine Ruffin, Mrs. Wayne Manz, Mrs. Vernon Conyers, Mrs. J. Watson Smoot, Jr., Mrs. W. J. Warren, Mrs. Edna Knox. Not pictured are the other valuable members; Mrs. Dail Holderness, Mrs. Virgil Truitt, and Mrs. O. F. Thompson. As an aid to the secretary and the principal, several girls work in the of- fice during their study hall. Answering the telephone is Louise Briley. Juniors use the sale of magazines as the means of making money for the Jr. • Sr. Examining the homeroom progress reports are Charles Godwin, Joan Hull, and Louise Carlisle, top salesmen. A highly anticipated moment for all Jun- iors is the arrival of class rings. John Jenkins found the moment draw nearer as he was measured for his class ring. Freshmen aid the teachers in prepar- ing bulletin boards and classroom dis- plays. Francis Lawrence, Jane Robin- son, and Joe Pitt prepared a Christmas bulletin board in a freshman homeroom. WORKING HARD AWARDS Coach Doug Alexander presented the football awards to Gus Andrews and Billy Freuler. Billy received the Most Valuable Player award; Gus received the Most Aggressive Player award. The Tiger Booster Club honored the 1961 football team with a banquet. Secured as speaker for the occasion was Jim Hickey, football coach at the University of North Carolina. Mr. Hickey entertained everyone with an interesting talk and some films. The crowd that was present at the football banquet enjoyed both the meal and the program . This large group had gathered to pay their respects to the T.H.S. football team. These boys came away from the In- dustrial Arts Fair in 1961 with top prizes. The winners were Dickie Causway, Larry Hathaway, Eddie Pat- terson, and Sam Long. Many students exhibited their newly found scientific talent in the annual science fair. Students winning top honors at the 1961 Science Fair were Travis Sassar, Johnny Lawrence, Bill Pitt, Betsy Fowler, Mary Ella Ruffin, Mary Francis Thomas, Sandra Weeks, and Louis Clark. Betsy Fowler was a winner at the District Fair in Greenville and then competed at the State Science Fair in Durham. Science teachers were Mrs. McNair, Mrs. Eason, Mr. Collins. WINNERS The successful Junior play, Deadly Earnest, had a fine cast. Those junior actors and actress- es are John Rimmer, Lough Leane Massey, James Ray Parker, Sue Joyner, Vann Taylor, Anna Sugg, Arthur Smith, Patricia Wynn, Joan Hull, Alan Brill, Bobby Holland, Julia Anna Leigh, Cheryl Cannon, and Beverly Conyers. Two old maids that captured everyone ' s heart were Julia Anna Leigh and Patricia 24 Wynn. John Rimmer and Bobby Holland knew the knack of tickling the audience ' s funny bone. The Junior play of this year ' s senior class was an enjoyable comedy Willie ' s Weekend. Tommy Knox, Sandra Byrd, and Fran McDow- ell took care of the preparations for Willie ' s visit. JUNIOR-SENIOR The juniors, seniors, and their dates enjoyed the Junior- Senior intermission party given by the junior class. All of that good food was prepared by the grademothers of the host class. Dancing to the music of the Melod aires at the Junior-Senior were Jimmy Harrell and his date, Becky Russell and Doc Teele, Borden Hooks and Sallie Carlisle, and Barbara Fields and Vann Taylor. SPECIAL PROGRAMS In a special assembly program a representative from Oak Ridge explained and demonstrated facts about atomic structure. This demonstration proved to be interesting and enlightening. Ev- eryone went away with some new bit of knowledge stored away. It ' s unbelievable that several thousand volts were run through Susie Bell ' s body. The charge that she gained caused her hair to stand on end. On Veteran ' s Day T.H.S. enjoyed the flag raising ceremony presented by the American Legion. The speaker for the occasion was Senator H. G. Shelton. 26 In the spirit of democracy Grigg Sheffield and Bill Pitt voted by secret ballot for student body officers. AND EVENTS HAPPENINGS An important part of a student ' s daily life is the rush to gain a pro- minent place in the lunch line. Snow brought a welcome vacation from studies. Both the young and the young at heart enjoyed the sledding and such season- al activities. The football team prepared to board the activity bus for the trip to Williamston to play the last game of the season. For the senior squad members this was the final game of their high school careers. 28 HONORS Football coach Doug Alexander presented to Gus Andrews the certificate that he re- ceived for being selected as a member of the National High School Wigwam All- America. Gus was one of seventy-seven boys chosen from all over the United States by a vote of high school coaches and sports writers. He also received the honor of be- ing asked to play in the North Carolina East= West game in August. GIRLS ' STATE The annual Girls ' State, sponsored by the Woman ' s Auxiliary of the American Legion, was held at Woman ' s College in Greensboro. The four girls selected for this honor were lucky indeed. During an exciting and infor- mative week, they learned much about our local and state governments and acquired the fundamental skills of a well-rounded active citizen. Included in these activities was a trip to see our state legislature in ses- sion at Raleigh. Representatives from T. H. S. at Girls ' State in June, 1961, were Carolyn Barnes, Betsy Fowler, Penny Lee Martin, Mary Frances Thomas. BOYS ' STATE Annually on the campus of the University of North Carolina, nearly four hundred boys assemble for a week of work and fun at Boys ' State, which is sponsored by the American Legion. The main purpose of the week is to learn more about government. In addition, Tarboro High School ' s representatives meet the elite of young men from North Carolina. They are taught by the best speakers that each separate field has to offer. It is a week that is unforgettable to anyone who has the privilege of attending. Attending Boys ' State from T.H.S. were Steve Lanier, Rudy Allsbrook (sitting), Larry Hathaway, and Joe Powell (standing). Boys ' State representatives. Members of Boys ' State were taught to utilize parliamen- tary procedure as shown by Steve Lanier, Joe Powell, Rudy Allsbrook, and Larry Hathaway.

Mrs. Rowe ' s Freshman English class diligently Julius Caesar is being paraphrased by Sophomores take notes. under the direction of Mrs. Dean. 38 STUDIES A better understanding of the present through knowledge of the past is the objective of the st udy of history. Courses in World and American History, civics, American Government, Prob- lems of Democracy, Sociology, and Economics aid in meeting this goal. Problems of Democracy students understand well the responsi- bilities of citizens in preserving our freedom. In Government classes under Mr. Spencer, students discover how our American government functions. 39 MR. BRYANT TRIPP Elon, E.C.C. B.A., M.A. Geom. , Alg. I-II MR. M. C. COLLINS Wake Forest E.C.C.

Latin I and II, Advanced Math FRENCH In preparation for college, the study of a foreign language is a necessity. To meet this need the cur- riculum offers two-year courses in both French and Latin. LATIN Latin, the record of the ancient Roman Empire expressed in the language of its people, offers a giant step down the road to a full English vocabulary. Latin I students prepare to take one of the familiar vocabulary tests. 44 LANGUAGES MRS. EDNA MEEKS E.C.C. A.B. U. S. History, French I and II French, one of the most beautiful of the Ro- mance languages, has become very widely spoken throughout the world.

Students hope to finish their metal work before the Science Fair. 46 One of the most useful courses for girls is Home Economics. Not only are the customary arts of sewing and cooking learned, but also many other various home skills. Through Home Economic studies, girls prepare themselves to be future suc- cessful homemakers. Learning the art of cooking will benefit these girls in the years to come. 48 A step in the road to fashion is learning to sew under Mrs. Spencer. LIBRARY SCIENCE s i Si MR. EARL D. HART E.C.C. B.S.

Following that twin defeat, however, the team showed much improvement. Although the Tigers only managed to compile an even 5-5 overall record and a 3-4 Conference record which was much less than they had expected at the beginning of the year, the 1961 football season was a success. For Tarboro was the only team in the tough Northeastern Atlantic Conference to defeat the Conference champions, Greenville, with an over- whelming 20-7 victory. Gus Andrews goes over for T.D. T.H.S.

The Tarboro Tigers opened the season ' s conference play with a defeat from Green- ville.
